СКАЧАТЬ she called out over his shoulder. “Taylor? Are you in there? Are you all right?”

      Josh frowned, his composure cracking. “Taylor’s fine.”

      “Why am I not surprised to hear you say that? I’d like to see for myself. Or would you prefer I called the police?”

      He shook his head. Gestured her toward the door. “Sorry, Taylor. I tried to tell her—”

      “Taylor?” Leigh stepped into a room that smelled like freshly made toast. Her daughter sat at the kitchen counter with a cup of coffee in her hands. She was wearing a T-shirt on top. Leigh couldn’t see what she wore for bottoms.

      At least she was safe.

      But Leigh wasn’t encouraged by the mutinous gleam in her eyes.

      “Honey, we need to talk. Could you come outside, please?” Leigh couldn’t be here in this house where…everything…had happened. No matter how she tried not to notice details—like her daughter’s blouse from yesterday flung on the back of the sofa—she noticed.

      Boy, did she notice.

      “There’s no point in talking, Mom. Josh and I are in love.”

      Abruptly the music stopped. Josh must have turned the player off. He walked past, headed for the coffeemaker and poured himself a cup. Neither he nor her daughter offered Leigh any.

      “Love. Taylor, how can you say that? You barely know one another.”

      “I knew you wouldn’t understand. Josh and I have been e-mailing for a long time. I do know him and he knows me, too, better than anyone, even better than Kerry does. Or you.”

      Her daughter’s words stung, the way they’d been meant to. Leigh’s friends always marveled at how close her relationship with her daughter was. Even during the churning adolescent years, they’d been able to talk, to enjoy time together.
